Our Hydroxyapatite powder is an exceptional alternative to traditional fillers like carbon black in rubber composites. Unlike carbon black, a petroleum-derived filler that can contribute to pollution, hydroxyapatite is green and falls in the category of sustainable material as it is derived from earth minerals.

Incorporation of hydroxyapatite into rubber allows its substantial performance improvements in terms of its mechanical and thermal properties.

High-Performance Rubber using Hydroxyapatite Powder as a green filler

These enhancements include increases in tensile and tear strength, hardness, AC conductivity, abrasion resistance, and oil resistance. Such performance gains are primarily due to the strong interfacial bonding between hydroxyapatite and the rubber matrix. This bonding is especially advantageous because it does not require additional coupling agents and demonstrates excellent compatibility with polar polymers, making it an ideal filler for a variety of rubber formulations.

The switch to hydroxyapatite-based rubber composites supports a more sustainable production process by reducing dependency on petroleum-based fillers while maintaining or even enhancing the overall quality of the final product. This eco-friendly material serves industries using rubber for automobiles, construction, consumer goods etc.

  1. Increased resistance & chemical durability too oils, fuels, fats, flammable liquids even on long exposure

  2. Increased thermal stability in hot & cold environments

  3. Reduced flammability

  4. Excellent resistance to thermo-oxidative aging

  5. Retention of mechanical properties over extended periods and under harsh conditions

  6. Increased lifespan of rubber ensuring reliability & durability

When combined with our graphene oxide (AIGO), hydroxyapatite provides even greater benefits. This powerful hybrid of hydroxyapatite and reduced graphene oxide (AIRGO) enhances the tensile strength, thermal conductivity, and dielectric properties of non-polar rubber composites. Synergistic actions between hydroxyapatite and graphene oxide results in uniform dispersion within the rubber matrix and significantly strengthens the interfacial interaction with non-polar polymers. Graphene oxide (AIGO) acts as a bridge, facilitating stronger bonds between hydroxyapatite and the rubber, creating a cohesive, high-performance material with exceptional resilience and functionality.

This innovative combination offers an exciting opportunity to produce sustainable rubber materials that perform much better than traditional rubber composites.

Using hydroxyapatite and graphene oxide (AIGO or AIRGO) as fillers, the rubber industry can reduce its environmental impact, meet market demands for greener materials, and set a new standard for high-performance, sustainable rubber composites.
